I'm assuming Cloud won here because as many jokes about Zero being a girl there are floating around, he never actually dresses up like one and then makes everyone (in-game and otherwise) want to fuck him.

Metal Gear Solid. Of the remaining eight in the winners round, it's one of the strongest contenders for the gold. 9 has coasted by on good will up until now, including my own, but it's time to send it below.

If it didn't require a premium subscription to watch it I'd recommend Giant Bomb's Metal Gear Scanlon series where an idiot man-child fanboy for MGS sits alongside a complete neophyte to the series plays through each of the MGS games (up through the end of 3 so far). It's actually a really fun way to see Metal Gear both through an idealized lens and from a perspective totally untainted by nostalgia.
